Renowned writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has once again emphasized the importance of raising boys with values that promote gender equality and respect. Speaking in a BBC interview, Adichie addressed the pressing need to reshape masculinity, ensuring that young boys grow up rejecting entitlement and embracing fairness. She lamented that while young girls often have strong female role models to look up to, boys lack enough positive male figures to guide them.
The award-winning author also opened up about how motherhood affected her creativity, admitting that she struggled with writing after childbirth. She explained that parenting changed her perspective on life and influenced her storytelling. Adichie’s upcoming novel, Dream Count, delves into themes of gender, race, and health, offering a deeper look into social issues that continue to shape the modern world.
